It’s impossible to build a comprehensive taxonomy of paranormal, pseudoscientific, fringe, & conspiratorial claims (etc!). It’s a vast ecosystem in constant roiling motion, subdividing, mutating, hybridizing, speciating… umbrella categories (“alternative medicine”) are useful but hand-wavingly broad

Misogyny isnt just about a hatred of women but about sowing fear into them. It’s about planting a seed of distrust inside their minds so that they believe themselves to be less than what they are. It cuts away at their dreams.

While our bodies seem static, our cells are constantly changing shape or on the move during tissue homeostasis or wound repair & even more dramatically during embryonic development, during events like gastrulation. Defining how cellular machines mediate these events is a key task for our field 1/n

Etymology of the day: before a tapering piece of hanging ice was called an ‘icicle’ it was an ‘ickle’. In the Middle Ages people decided to add ‘ice’ for extra oomph and (tautologically) called it an ‘ice ickle’, until the two words eventually blended together.
